That is usually my plan when I don't like a TV show: try to convince people who watch and enjoy it that it's bad so they stop watching something they like.

Good job JJB!

Why the completely nonsensical rant?

I am not trying to persuade anyone to not watch the show. I wanted to vent in appropriate forum about how terrible the show is. Given that this is the television thread and there is no The Following thread.

If you want a slight bit of persuasion, I will proffer this: interesting premise but it's not sustainable as the idea requires the utmost stupidity in the protagonists in order to continue the completely fantastical and unrealistic sequence of events.

Oh, and just to clarify, if all if the protagonists in The Following died, it would be a better show. The female lead character is especially stupid.

No it wouldn't. Kevin Bacon is the ONLY reason to watch it at all, and the main antagonist (Purefoy) is the least interesting villain on TV. All he ******* does is smirk, he's supposed to do the super duper charisma guy and that's the only thing he ever shows.

I agree about Bacon. I was lazy typing on iPhone. And yes, Purefoy is terribly boring. And the boy is pretty good too.

The show is a good concept for a miniseries. That's about the maximum length that the concept could sustain.

I can't believe this show elicited such a strong defensive response from vidae. It's truly bad and I am a person that really liked the pilot.

Don't you....EVER....DISS KEVIN BACON AGAIN!!
